Glaucoma Awareness
January is Glaucoma Awareness Month.
Glaucoma is often referred to as the "sneak thief of sight" because there are no early symptoms. It is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the US.
Glaucoma is caused by a build-up of fluid in the eye that puts pressure on the optic nerve. The optic nerve (really a bundle of nerves) carries messages to the brain.
The best way to determine if you have glaucoma is to have a dilated eye exam.
Follow our blog and Facebook page this month for more information.
